Answer:

sounds like the wiper motor. you have to disconnect he electrical connection at the wiper motor, and check if it is getting a signal (power) if so it needs a motor
It sounds like the wiper motor to me. it could have shorted out and now it's stuck with the jumper switch on the inside of the motor to ON. Try to unplug the motor wiring harness and then replace the fuse if it has a short it should blow the fuse right away if it does not plug in the wiper motor wiring back in and if it blows the fuse, then it's a faulty motor and needs to be replaced. I never replace them with a used motor cause you never get the same kind of warranty as if you bought one with a good warranty. I have aways said you get what you pay for! Roy Boy Toy
It's the wiper motor, it's a very simple and cheap fix. Replace the motor and you'll be good as gold.
